It whispers the ugliest words, echoes of those who hurt the tenderness in us.

Inner Child
Running my fingers over the scars, I close my eyes.
A Different Kind Of Damaged
I can only sit and observe, The winding streets of your hurt.
Behind the Stars
You are hiding behind a star.
Soul Genocide
She mimicked normal, Smiling, wine glass Lifted pinkie; copied class, And she remembered back, Carefree before this jump. Into ash and stone Leaping downwards, This place would never Feel like home.

The Current Tide

Hourglass

Poverty
After cult life IKnow what it's likeRun across the roadIn the dark nightSteal vegetablesFrom the neighboring farm And it harm noneMama formed the missionHolding her BibleA glory soaked misfit Cold seeped doorwaysOn an old trailerIn lot Number sevenPiling up blanketsSummers fanning heat There was no heavenIn our empty stomachsOr a cruel mother whoStood us in … Continue reading Poverty
